Chapter 152 "The Congressman Also Has His Own Son" (8)
The reversal of public opinion made the old consortium feel overjoyed, because this was the first time they had won a comeback in the war of public opinion.
Moreover, this victory could not be said to be confusing, but only incredible.
These bigwigs of the old consortium could not figure out why such a seemingly simple Mewtwo could easily arouse the players' sympathy for the old consortium? It could even make the marketing methods that the new consortium spent so much money on all discounted?
In addition to being puzzled, they also paid more attention to Lishan Technology.
After all, Lishan Technology has an irreplaceable role for them now.
Since Lishan Technology's Mewtwo has played a role, these old consortiums must of course give corresponding returns.
In addition to the various publicity and recommendation resources promised before, these old consortiums also provide help to Lishan Technology in both open and covert ways.
For example, some relatively backward production lines, OEM orders, design drawings, raw materials, etc. in the manufacturing industry.
Moreover, different old consortiums even have the idea of bypassing each other and building a bridge with Lishan Technology.
Strictly speaking, although these benefits are not particularly good, after all, no consortium would be stupid enough to hand over its own hidden treasures, but they are still relatively sincere and useful to Lishan Technology.
The reason why these consortiums are so attentive is mainly because they have deeply realized the great role of Lishan Technology through this public opinion war.
What if it can be used in the future?
Even if it is not used, try not to make enemies. If Lishan Technology turns against it and stands on the opposite side, it will be really difficult.
Of course, Chen She was not polite at all for the goodwill of these old-school consortiums and accepted them all.
On the one hand, his character is originally a stupid boss with no ambitions and knows nothing about his own Mewtwo, so he should not have too many thoughts; on the other hand, it is because these benefits should not be wasted.
In the future, there will always be a fallout with these old consortiums for various reasons. What's the point of making them owe favors?
It is better to take the ready-made benefits directly.
These rewards were nothing special to the creator Chen She. After all, these production lines were not the most advanced, and they were even more incomparable to the technology Chen She had created. But they were still a batch of materials, and there was always a place where they could be used.
When the war of public opinion between the old and new consortiums was in full swing, the war in the Western Continent was also intensifying.
At first, the old-school consortium corporate army represented by the Wilford Heavy Industry Group, with the cooperation of the rebels, defeated the new-school consortium led by the Black Umbrella Group, but soon, the battle between the two sides began to stalemate.
As the war grew, the Black Umbrella Group began to stop pretending, and all kinds of incredible events began to appear on the battlefield.
Strange time and space fluctuations began to appear, and large-scale time and space creatures raged, causing heavy losses to the old-school consortium and the rebels.
The old-school consortium began to angrily accuse the Black Umbrella Group of secretly raising an army of time and space creatures, and even claimed that they had conducted many evil experiments that violated human nature in the Western Continent, but the Black Umbrella Group denied it.
The Black Umbrella Group said that this was all slander by the old-school consortium because of the setback in the attack.
As for the evidence presented by the Wilford Heavy Industry Group, the Black Umbrella Group said that the Western Continent was originally a continent with frequent space-time activities, and the recent space-time activities have been abnormal for a long time. The sudden appearance of a large-scale space-time beast group is a very normal thing, so the other party does not need to make a fuss about it.
Then, the rebels also realized that something was wrong.
Because the progress of the old-school consortium corporate army headed by the Wilford Heavy Industry Group seemed to be slowing down, while the casualties on the rebel side remained high.
The voices of division within the rebels became louder and louder, and the top leaders of the rebels also argued endlessly.
Some people demanded to sever cooperation because the old-school consortium was obviously using them as cannon fodder, but some people disagreed because the rebels still needed to get supplies and weapons and equipment from the old-school consortium. What's more, withdrawing at this time would be equivalent to becoming a thorn in the eyes of both the new and old consortiums. With the current strength of the rebels, I am afraid they will not be able to hold on for long.
Although Chen She didn't know the specific details of the internal affairs of the rebels, he could guess roughly through Gao Jingwu's analysis.
But he didn't want to get involved now.
Because he knew that the rebels would not obey him, nor would they expose themselves, because he didn't know whether there were any traitors among these rebels. Things would only turn around when these rebels hit the wall hard and thoroughly realized that the consortiums were all birds of a feather.
Chen She was patiently running the arms business in the Western Continent at this time.
He controlled the shadow and quickly found the most suitable customers for this batch of arms: the wanderers in the Western Continent.
The wanderers here are very different from those in the Northern Continent.
The wanderers in the Northern Continent are more like scavengers. They run around the vast snowfields to collect space-time particles and basically maintain a good cooperative relationship with the surrounding consortiums.
After all, both sides get what they need.
But the situation in the Western Continent is different. The wanderers here are like bandits who occupy the mountains as kings. They often rob caravans or passers-by of some small consortiums, and sometimes they fight each other.
Because the original space-time activities in the Western Continent were relatively regular, the big consortiums preferred to collect space-time particles themselves and had no intention of cooperating with these wanderers. In the environment where the rebels and the consortiums were mixed, these wanderers had long been accustomed to the adventurous life of living and dying every day, and the homeless orphans in the Western Continent continued to replenish their numbers.
For Chen She, this was simply a perfect customer.
There was only one drawback, that is, they had no money.
Because the consortium did not lack equipment of this level, and the rebels... did not lack it at present, not to mention that the rebels now had their own goals, and the amount of questions was too large to be influenced.
Chen She inspected many tribes of wanderers, but it was really difficult to tell which one was more worthy of cultivation.
Although he could use the special power of the curse scholar to see the connection between each other, there was a prerequisite, and he had to have a closer relationship to see it.
It doesn't matter, you can raise Gu.
Chen She decided to sell this batch of weapons on credit to these wanderer tribes and asked them to repay within a certain period of time.
If they still haven't made enough money by the time, it means they are not capable enough; if they make money but don't pay it back, it means they are not good people.
Select the relatively capable and good people from the wandering settlements, continue to give them better weapons, let them attack the settlements that took the weapons and didn't return them, and let them spit out the principal and interest.
When the leaders of these settlements gradually establish a strong enough connection with Chen She, Chen She can roughly determine whether these people are trustworthy.
Of course, Chen She also considered what to do if all the wanderers have no character. Although the probability of this happening is not too high, it is definitely not zero.
If that happens, then the arms sales plan of the Western Continent can only be suspended and replaced by the way of the Space-Time Knights.
In that case, it is not a loss.
